How To: Salad Dressing + 3 Recipes

Alright people, the following information his crucial: THERE IS ZERO REASON TO BUY PRE-MADE SALAD DRESSING EVER. Reasons:

Homemade tastes a million times better (that is an exact statistic…one million times better)

Homemade is super easy to make

Homemade is way healthier and has no refined sugar + preservatives + extra chemicals

But most importantly, again, it really does taste so much freaking better. Sometimes homemade salad dressing can be intimidating to people, but those are people that just don’t know the ridiculously easy formula it takes to make salad dressing.

Now you can go even more simple than this and literally just do oil and acid, but I think at the bare minimum you should add an emulsifier to make it come together as one uniform liquid. And the tasty extras just make things…tasty 😉. Let’s break this formula down…

Emulsifier = Dijon mustard is BAE. Works like a charm. Mayo also works well.

Tasty extras = garlic, fresh herbs, spices, honey, etc…

And that’s it, yo. Whisk it up, shake it up, pour it over your salads and go to dressing heaven. Now if you’re wanting a creamy dressing, you can add a scoop of mayo as your emulsifier instead of dijon, and you have a creamy, dreamy dressing, which I’m also a big fan of. The possibilities are endless. ENDLESS. Here’s your video!

The first dressing shown here is lemon dijon. This is probably my go-to salad dressing that I use the most. It is seriously delicious and I LOVE it on kale salads – particularly this one 😍!
